We went on the Chichen Itza Deluxe tour with this company and had a great experience. The communication from Rod, pre tour, was clear and regular and our guide Limbert was chilled and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend using them.
Thank you for recommending us so highly! it truly means a great deal to our team. We’re delighted you enjoyed your private Chichén Itzá tour and that your time with your private tour guide made the experience so special.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you again in the Riviera Maya.

Tour setup was easy; customizable as the name implies. Limbert was a wonderful guide, with extensive knowledge of Mayan culture, history, and the region. We packed in Chichen Itza, Ek Balam, a cenote swim, and a quick stop in Valladolid, all on a hot day, but were well stocked with cold waters and solid guidance from Limbert.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your private Chichén Itzá tour and the flexibility of the day, as well as your time with your private tour guide.
It truly means a lot that you trusted us to create lifetime memories with your family! we sincerely appreciate that.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you again in the Riviera Maya.

My husband Mark and I have had a most outstanding day with Limbert - our guide. He is such an easy going, but at the same time incredibly knowledgeable guy. We really appreciated the bottles of water, snacks and cooling hand towels to beat the heat. It was a nice touch. We also appreciated the bonus Mexican music overview whilst on the drive!
We saw Chichen Itza, had a fabulous Mexican lunch, swam in a lovely cenote and sampled some outstanding Tequila. We’ve learnt so much and had such a fantastic day. I can highly, highly recommend this trip.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review, we truly appreciate it. It means a lot to our team, and especially to Limbert, to know that your day was so memorable and enjoyable.
We’re very glad you experienced everything we aim to deliver, a seamless, comfortable, and enriching day with those extra touches that make a difference.
We also hope you both had an equally fantastic time exploring Tulum on your second tour. Your photos were sent yesterday evening, and we trust they captured some great moments from both days.
It was a real pleasure hosting you and Mark, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Chichen Itza with 3 kids (9-7-3)
We did a private tour with Maya Custom Tour as a family of 5 with our three kids, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. Yes, it’s not cheap, but for us it was completely worth it—the whole day felt easy, relaxed, and very well taken care of. Riaz, our guide, was exceptional. You can really feel he has years of experience, and the way he explains things makes everything come alive. He turned Chichen Itza into something truly fascinating, and gave us a whole new perspective. Beyond that, he shared so much about Mexico—food, culture, animals—he seems to know everything, and explains it in such a friendly and engaging way. Benjamin, our driver, was also wonderful—very calm, kind, and just a really nice presence throughout the day. We visited Chichen Itza, swam in a cenote, and even stopped for a bit of shopping, where Riaz helped us bargain, which was a nice bonus. Overall, it felt very personal, smooth, and stress-free. We’re really glad we chose this tour.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us.We’re so happy to hear that your private tour was one of the highlights of your trip, especially traveling as a family of five. Creating a smooth, relaxed, and personalized experience is exactly what we aim for, so it’s wonderful to know that came through.Riaz will be thrilled to read your kind words. His passion, knowledge, and ability to bring places like Chichen Itza to life are something very special, and we’re glad you felt that connection. We’ll also be sure to share your comments with Benjamin, his calm and friendly presence is such an important part of the experience.It sounds like you made the most of the day, from exploring Chichen Itza to swimming in a cenote and even enjoying a bit of shopping (and bargaining).Thank you again for trusting us with your family’s experience. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!Warm regards,The Maya Custom Tour Team

We truly had the best experience with Rod and his team. From start to finish, Rod stayed in touch throughout our entire trip and even followed up afterward, which really showed how much he cares.
Our tour guide, Limbert, made the experience unforgettable. It’s hard to put into words how special he made it for us as Canadians, we genuinely felt right at home.
I strongly recommend Rod and his team for any tours you’re considering. If you want a seamless, welcoming, and well-run experience, this is the team to make it happen.
Once again, muchas gracias to Rod, Limbert, and the Custom Tour team!

On New Year's Day we had an incredible experience on our custom private tour departing from Playa del Carmen. From start to finish, everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned.
Our driver, Benjamin, was professional, friendly, and made the drive very comfortable. Our guide, Limbert, was truly outstanding. At the Mayan ruins of Cobá, we explored the site by bicycle, which made the experience both fun and immersive. Limbert brought the ruins to life with his deep knowledge of Mayan history. He explained the construction of the structures, how the Mayan people lived and governed, their language, customs, religion, and traditional foods. He also shared insights into the modern history of the people of the Yucatán region, which added meaningful context to everything we saw.
After Cobá, we visited a beautiful cenote, where we were able to swim and enjoy the experience almost entirely to ourselves. There were very few other tourists, which made it peaceful and unforgettable.
I highly recommend these private tours to anyone visiting the area, and I especially recommend Limbert as a tour guide. His knowledge, passion, and storytelling made this one of the best tours we’ve ever taken.
Everything went excellently. There were 3 families of us, a total of 14 people, including 4 children and one 3-month-old baby.
They were on time, the driver was good and calm. The guide was extremely helpful. The guide had extensive knowledge, and we were able to proceed at our own pace. We learned a lot.
Highly recommended.
Thank you for allowing us to create lifetime memories with you and your lovely family. We look forward to touring with your friends and family again in the near future.
Thank you for your preference.

If you’re on the fence about the early pickup, do it. Mariana picked us up at 6:30 AM, and it was the best decision we made. We were among the very first visitors at the Coba temple, allowing us to experience the site in peace before the crowds and the midday heat arrived.
The entire day was perfectly planned. A massive highlight was the Cenote visit; Mariana timed it so well that our family had about 20 minutes of completely private time swimming in the water. It felt like our own hidden paradise!
A huge shout-out to our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much history with us, but she’s also a fantastic driver. We felt totally safe and comfortable on the road the entire time.
If you want a seamless, well-paced, and authentic experience, ask for Mariana. Our family can’t recommend her enough!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. It truly means a lot to our entire team.

We did two separate day trips with The Custom Tour and both were fantastic. One day we visited Chichen Itza and Ek Balam and swam in a beautiful cenote. The next trip took us to Tulum and another cenote where the kids loved the zip lines. Everything was well timed and organized, and it was a great mix of history, adventure, and fun for our whole family.
Our guide Kat and our driver Ben were outstanding. Kat was knowledgeable, engaging, and great with our teenagers, making the history interesting without ever feeling like a lecture. Ben made the entire experience smooth and comfortable, and we always felt well taken care of.
Overall, The Custom Tour made exploring the Yucatán easy and memorable. These were two of the best days of our trip, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone visiting the area.

Our tour guide Kat and the driver Benjamin were absolutely great. Kat taught us so much about Chichen Itza, the cenote, and the town of Valladolid. Benjamin welcomed us with waters and cold towels after each stop and got us everywhere safely. I highly recommend taking a private tour with this company as it saves you time and you learn more by it being just your group.

Scary Driving
Family tour to Ek Balam, Selva Maya and Valladolid with Kat and Benjamin. Everything was fine until the way home when the driver Ben started to drive dangerously. Tailgating 20 feet (3.5 meters) at 50 mph (80 kph) on a wet road is a recipe for disaster.
Hi Chris! As a small family business, we work very hard to maintain the level of service and safety our guests expect, so feedback suggesting unsafe driving is something we take seriously. We have never received negative feedback regarding the safety of our guests, and we take great pride in ensuring our clients travel comfortably and safely. We sincerely apologize if the traffic conditions on the way back caused you to feel uncomfortable at any moment.At the same time, we must respectfully say that describing the experience with words such as “scary,” “disaster,” or “dangerously” does not accurately reflect the professionalism and care with which our driver conducts his work. Benjamin is a highly experienced and responsible driver, and safety is always our highest priority. Characterizations like these can unfortunately create a misleading impression about our tour company.The other members of your family left a 5-star review (see review above): We were a group of six adults. Kat was our tour guide. She was personable and incredibly knowledgeable. Benjamin was an amazing driver. They both kept us all entertained throughout the tour. We left our resort early to beat the heat and the crowds. Ben had cold towels waiting for us after our time at the ruins.the were so happy they mentioned Benjamin was an Amazing Driver. They also wrote us an email: Many thanks to you and your team for a great experience. We’ve left a trip advisor review this morning. 5 ⭐️ Warm regards,We feel sorry that you did not like when we encountered some slower traffic. 80 k/h is not considered a traffic violation on the highway where speed limit is 100 k/h. 20 feet is around 6 meters, which might feel close when he was about to pass the slow bus driving in front of you. We truly wish the situation could have been handled differently so that it did not result in public concerns regarding our driver’s safety practices.Internally, we have already reviewed the situation with our team and discussed additional steps to ensure all passengers feel completely comfortable during every part of the tour.Feel free to contact us via email for any additional comments. We remain at your entire disposal.

Our tour guide Limbert went above and beyond to deliver much more than we requested from our custom tour! It was an absolute joy learning about the Mayan culture, Chichen Itza, Valladolid, and Ek Balam today. It was also getting to share different cultural aspects with him as well. As a former quality manager for customer service, I can absolutely advise that 5 out of 5 stars is not nearly as high enough score from. Limbert!
Thank you so much for your prompt and flawless feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our customer service and learning so much during your private custom tour. Thanks again for recommending us so highly!
